6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic support performance guarantee requirements]
Why do we need a performance guarantee for a large photovoltaic system?
Documentation of the energy yield of a large photovoltaic (PV) system over a substantial period can be useful to measure a performance guarantee, as an assessment of the health of the system, for verification of a performance model to then be applied to a new system, or for a variety of other purposes.
Do third-party-owned PV systems need a guarantee?
It is sometimes required for third-party-owned systems to provide a guarantee for the energy yield output and/or the availability of the PV system when plant operations is included in the contract or an O&M provider is not well known or does not have significant financial backing.
What do s takeholders want from solar energy systems?
S takeholders of existing photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems are typically interested in system performance for operation and maintenance planning, commissioning, performance guarantees and for making investment decisions.
What is PV system performance?
PV system performance is based on how much time is lost when a system is not available and on the performance of the system when it is available. A system may have an availability of 95%, but a performance index of 100%.
Should green public procurement criteria be included in tenders for solar PV installations?
Further examples of the inclusion of Green Public Procurement criteria in calls for tender for solar PV installations are requested. MEErP concept: analysis of the direct and indirect impacts of an Energy related Product (ErP) on associated energy systems.
What qualifications do I need to install a PV system?
B.S. in EE (4-year engineering degree); registered PE licensed to practice engineering in the jurisdiction; NABCEP PV Installer Certification; CAD (AutoCAD) and graphics skills; knowledge of IEEE, NEC, NESC, and other codes and standards for PV systems; required level of errors and omissions insurance.
